Step into history and command one of the most iconic tanks of World War II with the Heng Long 1/16 German Tiger I Metal Version RC Heavy Tank. This high performance, ready to run model captures the formidable presence, engineering precision, and battlefield dominance of the legendary Tiger I. With upgraded metal components, immersive battle features, and authentic scale detailing, this RC tank is ideal for collectors, enthusiasts, and hobbyists seeking an unmatched WWII experience. The Tiger I was feared for its thick armour and devastating 88mm gun, capable of destroying enemy armour from long distances. Heng Long’s 1/16 scale replica embodies that power with a full suite of realistic features including 320° turret rotation, adjustable gun elevation, and simulated recoil when firing. The sound system replicates the roar of the Maybach engine and thunderous cannon blasts, while a smoke generator adds to the visual realism by simulating battlefield exhaust. Constructed for durability and performance, this version includes metal tracks, steel drive and idler wheels, and a metal rock arm suspension system. The robust drivetrain handles rough terrain with ease, supported by proportional 2.4GHz control for smooth and precise manoeuvering. Whether you’re staging infrared battles with other Heng Long tanks or displaying this historic machine, the Tiger I delivers unrivalled realism and mechanical presence.
